War preparedness crisis! The US media said that the US military has been unable to resist the "high-end threat" between China and Russia.

November 09, 2022

The reference message network reported on June 24 that the US "National Interests" bimonthly website published on June 22nd entitled "": Will the US lose the war with Russia or China? The article by Dave Mazongda is compiled as follows:

The United States is in a critical moment in maintaining readiness against high-end threats such as Russia and China – at least this is the view of the majority party members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee. Although the reasons are partly due to the counter-insurgency wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, most of the blame can be attributed to a dying procurement system that stifles innovation.

Bob Simmons, chief of the House of Representatives Military Committee, said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute on June 21: "We are currently in a clear crisis. There is no doubt that we have the ability to deal with the anti-terrorism front. Threats, but we have reached the point where we are not actually going to confront (but are already unable to resist) high-end threats. We lack the ability to effectively achieve deterrence on high-end fronts."

The problem is manifested in many ways – and covers the full range of capabilities of the Pentagon involving air, land, sea and space. A direct example is the US Marine Corps aviation - the Marines do not have enough trained maintenance personnel to repair their aircraft. Simmons pointed out that of the total 271 attack aircraft of the Marine Corps, only about 64 can take off at any time. At the same time, the Air Force is no better, and only 43% of its aircraft can perform missions at any time.

Due to the shortage of aircraft, the flight time of Marine Corps pilots is far lower than that of Russian and Chinese counterparts. Now, Marines pilots only fly 4-6 hours a month, while the past monthly flight time is 20-30 hours, which can cause long-term inexperience. Simmons said: "Frankly, our flight time is now as much as that of North Korean pilots, about one-third of Chinese pilots."

At the same time, the aircraft itself, Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and Northrop Grumman's B-2 "Ghost" bomber are a few models. Exceptions) There is also no ability to break through the enemy's tight air defense system. Whether it is Fairchild's A-10 attack aircraft, Boeing's F-15, Lockheed Martin's F-16 fighter, or Boeing's F/A-18 "Hornet" fighter, there is no one. The aircraft can be safe in the current new generation of high-end air defense systems in Russia and China. Even Russia’s latest fourth-generation fighter can’t survive the attack of Moscow’s own formidable integrated air defense weapons. Simmons said: "Does the Russians fly their planes over Ukraine? No. If you fly the fourth-generation fighters in the current environment, you will be in trouble."

In many ways, the Pentagon's lack of preparation for a high-end war should be attributed to the intricate bureaucratic system of the Ministry of Defense, which is reluctant to take risks. This system spares no effort to suppress innovation. In fact, the current collapse is a direct result of the Pentagon's commitment to the F-22, the F-35, and the so-called “transitional” capabilities of the “future combat system” that no longer exist (rather than a more gradual approach).

During the Cold War, the United States gradually completed the development of the weapon system over time. Simmons sarcastically said: "We kept this practice throughout the Cold War. We continued to gradually improve the stability of all weapons systems, forcing them to catch up with us, and then the Berlin Wall collapsed. We adopted their procurement system. We are now Will try to go back to the past gradualism."

The House of Representatives and the Senate are trying to fundamentally reform the Pentagon's procurement system so that new technologies can be developed and packaged in a gradual manner. The United States can no longer invest tens of billions of dollars in plans that will have results in 20 or 30 years. Simmons said that at the same time the enemy will struggle to catch up. In fact, in some cases (such as the US Army's "future combat system"), huge sums of money were spent arbitrarily, but did not produce any visible results.

Chris Broze, the majority chief of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who also spoke at the American Enterprise Institute, said he agreed with Simmons’ assessment that the current situation is unacceptable. He said: "We have seen the exact same problem."

In other words, because the soldiers are not fully prepared, the US Army may not have time to reach the location of a conflict (because it takes more time to train), or the soldiers will pay a huge casualty for the lack of preparation. The picture shows the US military M1 main battle tank, belonging to the US Army 1-161 Synthetic Battalion (1-161 Combined Arms Battalion).

It is not only the Army that faces these problems. The Marine Corps commander, General Robert Neller, commented on "the ability to meet a major conflict requirement," saying that the Marine Corps "has the ability to do so, but perhaps not asking for it to arrive and participate in the battle." Completed within the time frame." The picture shows the US military aircraft carrier under the rainbow.

The nearly 20 years of conflict and years of budget tightening have cost the military, leading to a delay in modernization and a serious shortage of war preparations. The picture shows the US Army CH-47F transport helicopter troops hoisting artillery drills for air maneuvering.

In the "2016 US Military Strength Index," the US military's rating is only "to barely qualified." From the successive news reports, we have seen the reasons. Only one-third of the Army Brigade combat troops are ready to fight. The picture shows the F-35B stealth fighters for formation air refueling training.

Half of the Air Force’s combat forces were not prepared to participate in a high-intensity battle. The Navy was forced to undergo a more severe test of its soldiers and warships through a eight- to 10-month deployment—rather than a more manageable six-month deployment. The picture shows the B-2 stealth bomber shot in backlight.

All of the Marine Corps aircraft either need to be replaced or need to be reinvested. Needless to say, the Marine Corps currently faces Class A accidents that are almost twice the average for 10 years. Neller admitted, "The facts are very simple. We don't have enough planes to meet the training needs of the entire army." The picture shows the early design of the LRS-B bomber of Nobel, paying more attention to hypersonic penetration.

As Senator John McCain recently pointed out: "I am worried that this means that our military is becoming less and more powerless to contain the conflict, and if containment really fails in some places, we are caught in conflict, our country Young Americans who are not trained enough and don’t have enough weapons will be sent to fight a war that takes longer, is bigger, costs more, and will eventually take more American lives.” A grand gathering of the US Navy's Chilshazhi (LHD-3) amphibious assault ship deployed in the Gulf of Oman.
His concerns were echoed by Air Force Minister Deborah James. James said: "History teaches us that the consequence of insufficient preparation is that the conflict time is prolonged and the number of lost lives is increased." The picture shows the Blue Ridge-class command ship under the rainbow.

But what if the new leader in Washington says it has had enough, that is, the US government will not endure the unpleasant situation of years of delays, technical failures, ongoing accidents and expected declines? The answer is that there are alternatives. The picture shows the F-35 launching the thermal flare test.

For the US Air Force, the most obvious alternative would be to resurrect Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor stealth fighter. The picture shows the F-22 full picture.

While restoring production lines will be both expensive and difficult, it can still be done. After all, the US Air Force stored the production equipment for the F-22. The picture shows that the fighting shells on both sides of the F-22 are still in the open state, and the flat tail is in a large elevation attitude.

The US Navy, which has always been indifferent to the F-35C fighter, can continue to purchase advanced modifications of the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet carrier-based fighter. In fact, Boeing has already launched this type of aircraft. The picture shows the F-35C taking off from the aircraft carrier.

In the longer term, the US Navy can restart the remote unmanned stealth bomber program. The remote unmanned stealth attacker may be the aircraft that the US Navy needs to defeat the Western Pacific 601099, the new anti-intervention/regional refusal challenge. The picture shows the F-35A (Air Force) two-air formation flight.

In the absence of the F-35B fighter, the US Marine Corps either purchased the "Super Hornet" fighter or abandoned the fixed-wing tactical fighter program. The picture shows the F-35B stealth fighters for formation air refueling training.

However, the US Navy and the Marine Corps have a close relationship, so the Marine Corps may choose the Super Hornet fighter before giving up most of the aviation. The picture shows the F-35 stealth fighter flying the landing gear in the air to show the flight.

800D Dobby

Uses for this water repellent 320 gram per square meter durable ballistic nylon include: luggage, bottoms of bags, various packs, police belts, tool belts, watchstraps, motorcycle jackets, kayak and canoe covers and many more applications/ end-uses!

Ballistic nylon was first developed by the DuPont corporation for flak jackets worn by airmen in World War II. At the time, it was not an effective barrier to bullets nor any other artillery.

In the late 1970`s, the government switched use to lightweight Kevlar embedded with ceramic plates that could stop bullets. By the 1980`s, consumers had access to ballistic fabric.

Use this durable, affordable fabric for a variety of products, including luggage. As luggage gets tossed around and handled, this durable fabric material does not rip or tear. The look of the weave is shiny, sleek and sexy. Even though the name stuck – the military doesn`t use ballistic fabric for those purposes anymore.
